Cybr Courses

Practice for the real CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam with our realistic practice exams. Our exams closely resemble the real exam to provide you with the type of questions and answers that you can expect to see on the exam itself. In fact, we include both types of CompTIA questions: Performance-based questions and Multiple-choice questions.

Performance-based Questions (PBQs): Access multiple PBQs which are designed to test a candidate's ability to solve problems in real-world settings. These are run as simulations for the Security+, so we provide you with interactive testing that closely resembles what you could expect to see on the exam. For example, we provide PBQs that are drag & drop and fill in the blank.

Multiple-choice Questions: Access multiple-choice questions that cover a wide range of topics covered by the real exam. These questions and answers have been carefully crafted by Cybr to verify your knowledge of Domains 1 through 5, which include: Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities; Architecture and Design; Implementation; Operations and Incident Response; Governance, Risk, and Compliance.

Every single question in our practice exam was created by individuals who are CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certified, which means that they have experienced the exam first-hand and passed it. We know what you're going to go through, so we want you to be as prepared as possible. We even include detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. That way, you continue to learn as you take our practice exams, and you can identify focus points. The exam itself will never contain more than 90 questions but could have fewer, which is why our practice exams include a minimum of 80 questions up to 90 questions, as a combination of PBQs and Multiple Choice.

What makes this course different

Production quality: We've been developing cloud and security training material for over 7 years and have taught hundreds of thousands of IT professionals all the way from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. Our production quality is top-notch and not only reflects expert experience but focuses on building practical skills with interactive diagrams, realistic lab scenarios, and other interactive elements.

Interactive Diagrams: Concepts can be really boring to learn, especially when it's just someone reading slides. That's not what you get from this course. We've developed interactive diagrams that you can interact with as you're learning. That way, as we're discussing concepts or as we're deploying resources in the AWS cloud, you can visualize exactly what's going on side-by-side.

Scenario-based: From the very beginning of the course, we set up a realistic and sample AWS multi-tier architecture, which we then evaluate from a security perspective to understand potential attack vectors. The rest of the course centers around this architecture and those security concerns so that we can learn how to properly defend our AWS resources, just as we would on the job as cloud security professionals.

Lab-based: Every practical step we take in the course can be completed in your very own AWS account, and we will be adding actual lab scenarios for you to complete. Most if not all of them can be done for free using the AWS free tier. We will notify you beforehand if there are any resources that will cost money so you can decide whether you want to complete those labs/steps or not.

About the authors

This course was created, developed, and published in collaboration between Konstantinos Papapanagiotou and Christophe Limpalair.

Christophe is the founder and an author at Cybr, where he's published many courses on topics of ethical hacking. You may also know him from Linux Academy / ACloudGuru, where he taught multiple AWS courses including associate and professional-level AWS certification courses, and helped tens of thousands of learners get certified. He also helped pioneer, develop, maintain, and secure Linux Academy's cloud Hands-On Labs and Assessments technology which ran as a $1m budget on AWS.

Between Kostas and Christophe, the authors have years of experience working in AWS and building as well as securing production environments. They share that experience in this course to help you get started learning how to secure AWS resources and environments.

Description: Networking is easily one of the most commonly recommended topics to learn for anyone interested in being in an IT career, and so it's arguably one of the most important skills to build when starting out. Regardless of what job you end up choosing, having at least a foundational understanding of how data travels all around us is very beneficial. So in this course, we're going to learn just that starting with how data travels using physical connections. But physical connections alone aren't enough to make the internet work. We also need to answer questions like: how does data know exactly where to go? Say I'm sending an email to someone - how does that email know to go to that other person's inbox, and no one else's? Or even reading this right now. How did you receive this text and the images on this page that are stored in a different part of the world than where you're located? How does all of it transfer in seconds or even milliseconds? These are fascinating questions that can be answered once we understand how the physical and virtual backbone of the Internet works. Once we understand how human-readable information gets transformed into a format that machines can process, and then back into a human-readable format again. Once we understand how models and standards were created to dictate a set of rules for how devices should communicate. Once we look at all of that, and more, then we start to see how everything is interconnected and how the Internet is able to function the way it does. Join us as we unpack the mysteries of networking and learn Networking Fundamentals that you'll be able to carry with you throughout your entire IT career!
